SEOUL, July 11 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group TWICE released its fourth studio album "This Is For" on

Friday, marking their 10th anniversary since debut, their agency JYP Entertainment said.

Having debuted in 2015, the nine-member group said the new album is a heartfelt gift for fans and a reflection of their musical growth over the past decade. The album contains 14 tracks, including the title song "This Is For," as well as "FOUR," "OPTIONS," "MARS," and "RIGHT HAND GIRL."

In a statement, TWICE said, "This is a project prepared with the intention of expressing gratitude to fans at home and abroad who have shown us so much love over the past 10 years, especially ONCE (the official fandom), who have walked alongside us and looked in the same direction."

They added, "While maintaining TWICE’s signature color, we aimed to present fresh and unique charms through new unit song combinations and concept photo shoots. This album is particularly meaningful to us, and many of our personal ideas went into the process. We're happy that people recognize how limitless our charm as TWICE can be."

Reflecting on their decade-long career, the members remarked, "We’ve been called 'SOWICE' because we work like oxen," adding, "Our deep affection for the team and the unwavering support from fans are what have made our journey possible. ONCE is our biggest source of strength."

TWICE is set to kick off a new world tour titled "This Is For" with concerts at Inspire Arena on Yeongjong Island, Incheon, on July 19–20. On August 2 (local time), they will appear as headliners at the major U.S. music festival "Lollapalooza Chicago."

Members Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung also recently garnered attention for performing the original soundtrack "TAKE DOWN" for the Netflix animated film "K-Pop: Demon Hunters," which features a K-pop-themed story. The trio said, "We’ve heard the song is receiving a lot of love. Our other track 'Strategy' also appears in the movie, and we hope it is well received too."
